Although I had a rough experience trying to actually get my tools. Now I have them they are undeniably well made. I'd love an option to pick them up from the workshop instead of having to pay for them to be posted.

Poor quality item badly made, crease iron left scratches, tried to return the item and Tim the owner was very rude.

When I first encounter this knife was through online Leather Craft Master Classes; it seemed much straight forward tool than any other pairing knife that I have found. My biggest dilemma was the price point as I was beginner of leather craft who didn’t want to spend lots of money and I knew a good tool can be economical with a quality. I needed to balance, price and workmanship that came with a tool.This knife serves its purpose: Hand Skiving, everyday for me and I love it!What I love about this knife is how slim the knife is so that I can skive to zero: Grain layer of leather. It is rough around the edges a bit, but you can easily put a layer of leather to meet your comfort!Thanks to George Barnsley & Sons to making this tool and I look forward to acquiring a round knife or/and hammer soon. ;)

Recieved the awl I ordered to use for my hobbies of candle making to make channels for the wick in moulded candles. Whilst I know its a tool I have to say its a beautifully made quality piece. Service, packaging and delivery was excellent. Thank you

I wanted to order UK produced tools, and was pleased to be able to do so from Geo Barnsley & Sons. The order was was turned around promptly, well packed and presented. I'm really happy with the tools and will no doubt be ordering again in the future.

I rang them enquiring about replacing a treasured lost leather knife. Nothing was too much trouble and they sorted it out immediately. Brilliant service, and great to know that this famous old brand is still there. Cannot recommend too highly.

Excellent, good quality Sheffield skiving blades. Love the little stubby wood handled paring blade. A really useful tool.The zebra wood handled blades look so beautiful.
